"Every good cook needs a recipe for Chinese Chicken Salad at her fingertips. I thought I'd share mijne. The dressing is devine. This never fails to please. I usually roast my own chicken for this; but if I'm running short on time, I'll pick one up at the grocery store deli or at Costco. I normally double the dressing part of the recipe."
